Hi, where you read the temps from, cpu core ? or CPU, i use CPUID hardware monitor, its got cpu core temps ?, using a Arctic extreme cooler is not very good at all, its idle is 40c on all cores, and loads 60c, can only get it to work on 3.7ghz without crashig in Intel Burn Test, just ordered a Scythe Mugen 2 and will try again, will be happy it to run 3.8ghz on stock voltage (which is 1.4v correct ?)

well all amd temps on they site are based on the tcase, (overall cpu temp). everest gives you the cpu temp and the core temp.
40c is alittle high for idle and 60c is to high for load on stock voltage but it also depends on your room temp..
it sounds like u have the similar chip as me, if its fully stable at 3.7ghz on stock voltage i would say leave it on that for now then try 3.8ghz when u get the cooler. but tbh 3.8ghz on stock voltage is very difficult with a 1.4v vid chip. a slight bump up on the voltage will easyly make it stable

after reading a few , seems like most people are getting 3.8ghz at stock voltage, aint 1.4 v stock voltage. just seen review with the arctic extreme with mugen 2 and the mugen 2 is like 9c lower on idle and close to 20c on load, lol the arctic extreme was great on my PII 720 95watt didnt know it would be this bad coping with the PII 965 125w, well soon find out soon when i get the mugen 2
Thanks
theres different stock voltages for the same model. e.g, ours stock voltage is 1.4v but another person 965 c3 chip maybe 1.35v or 1.375v..
the 1.375v vid chips can do 3.8-3.9ghz on stock voltage. the 1.4v vid chips find it difficult doing 3.8ghz on stock voltage.

core is 1.425v for 3.8ghz (but that drops down to 1.408v when idle (on my motherboard)), cpu-nb i've upped to 1.275v for fully stable at 2600mhz, cpu multipler x19

oh hai!
I have my pII 965 and Gigabyte ud5, with corsair ddr3 4gb ram coming tommorrow.
I have bought the Titan Fenrir cooler.

How should I start overclocking? baby increases? I don't want to do it in lol.
Whats this about nb ghz? am I best to attach a fan to the nb?

The temperature to scaling became more true when my Phenom II was pretty stable at 4GHZ at 1.4V.
I've downgraded my OS to windows 7 pro, and now I use more RAM when stressing.
It's crazy.
But I want rock solid stable, so 20 runs of IBT at 3GB RAM at 1.4V and 2800MHZ NB passed solidly with 50Gflops at least.
But the different vid's really make a difference.

so use prime95 too on blend,

I'm just sorting a few things out at the moment, running 20 runs of IBT high at 4GHZ at 1.45V, if that passes I'll put Prime blend on it.
i think my ram timeings was the issue. so im back to 8-8-8-20 1t. so im at 3.8ghz, 2.6ghz running prime95, if that passes , then ill know for sure it was the ram. then ill start pushing the clocks more.
i've got the temps down to 43-45c

I was going to do one, but my GF came round and complained it was cold, so I closed my window and left it lol.
I'll do Prime 95 when I lap my T.R.U.E to keep temps down.
i don't know which to buy, monitor or motherboard, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-230-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1481 or http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-040-OK&groupid=17&catid=1120&subcat= or http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-052-IY&groupid=17&catid=1120&subcat=
i already have a 24" monitor. but it keeps going off. as for the motherboard, i've been getting issues with it..
so i don't know which to go for.. but the 28" monitor looks great.

yeah but that'll a lcd tv which i don't want because of the res issues.can get some 32 lcd for 300
i haven't ordered the 28" monitor just yet. because i've just returned a 26" full HD lcd tv which i was going to use as a pc monitor but the most resolutions didn't look right also it says max res was 1920x1200 but it wouldn't go to that and the 1080p looked crap because the screen was a 16:10.
or another thing is should i go another 5850?
